Christian McCaffrey, the star running back for the San Francisco 49ers, has been limited in practice as he recovers from an Achilles injury. After the team's Week 9 bye, McCaffrey was designated for return from injured reserve and has participated in back-to-back capped practice sessions. Coach Kyle Shanahan indicated that McCaffrey is experiencing no pain, suggesting a cautious approach as he prepares for a potential return this weekend.

• McCaffrey's return is imminent, potentially boosting the 49ers' offense.
• Jordan Mason's shoulder injury raises concerns about the running back depth for San Francisco.
